We will discuss strategies for engagement using thinking routines in multiple scenarios: in-person, virtual and hybrid.

Developing the Disposition to Engage in Conversations Based in Inclusion and Perspective-Taking:
National history museums tell a country's story, but is it the entire story?
The National Museum of African American History and Culture tells U.S. history from heretofore under-represented perspectives. In this course, participants will use the Museum's collections paired with Project Zero Thinking Routines to explore issues of inclusion. While looking at history backward and forward, participants will hone perspective-taking skills, revisit ideas, and explore complexity through various points of view.
This course was held onsite & in coordination with The National Museum of African American History and Culture

Using Media to Make Thinking Visible, 2018:
In this interactive course, we will explore the examination and creation of media as a catalyst to make thinking visible during the process of engaging in challenging or difficult conversations. Do you ever find yourself in challenging or difficult conversations in your classroom? In this course, focusing on the use of photographs, video and film, as creator or consumer, we will explore how to scaffold a challenging conversation on almost any topic- using thinking routines. We will examine commercial media, and we will scaffold the process of engagement using student-generated media. This course is useful for those who would like to use the consumption and/or the creation of media to make thinking visible as part of a culture of thinking.

Using Media to Make Thinking Visible, 2016:
How can media use help us build a Culture of Thinking and make our students’ thinking visible?
Participants will discuss and model media as a tool to make thinking visible, examining artifacts and students documentation from multimedia classes and workshops (Film, Claymation, Computer Programming, Systems and Robotics). They will also engage in three “media activities” during which they will create and share their own audio and still/moving images in order to reflect on the use of media in the classroom.
Using Media to Make Thinking Visible, 2014/5:
How do we document student learning and visible thinking in the multimedia classroom? In this hands-on workshop Digigriot Kerri Redding will engage participants in multimedia activity that utilizes Project Zero thinking routines to build a culture of thinking and reflection in the multimedia classroom. In addition to creating a multimedia project participants will have the opportunity to examine artifacts and student documentation from Narrative Film, Documentary Film, Claymation, and Computer Programming and Systems classes and workshops.
This course was modified for each group of attendees and the materials reflect each group's experience.
